43″ wide Chisel Plow / Cultivator with rigid shanks, cutting coulters and electric lift. Very aggressive top of the line ATV tillage tool capable of deep tillage work.
Features (specs, highlights, etc)
Rigid shanks make for effortless penetration in hard ground conditions. Rigid shanks also maintain a constant attack angle which helps to efficiently shatter the ground and lower the pulling load requirement.
The Model 543 uses several common style sweeps for different applications. The 9" field cultivator sweeps are used for softer ground conditions or secondary tillage. The chisel points work very well for extremely hard ground conditions. An optional set of turning shovel sweeps can be purchased for working in sod conditions.
Straight style cutting coulters are mounted across the front of the Model 543. These coulters are used to cut light plant debris and prevent hairpinning on the rear shanks. They also help to reduce clod size on secondary passes.
An electric lift with ATV operator control comes standard. The electric lift makes for very easy depth changes on the go and also allows for raising to transport height from the tow vehicle.
The tongue can easily be changed for different hitch heights and tool leveling with the top link adjuster. When set properly the tool frame will stay relatively level as the tool is raised up and down.
Weight can be added to the weight racks on both sides of the tool frame. This helps with coulter penetration in harder ground conditions.
The Model 543 has shank receivers on both the front and back. These allow for easy shank removal or individual up and down adjustment.
Two attachment receivers are located at the back of the tool frame. An optional drag harrow is able to be attached into this location.
